that talks about the Social Justice imperative of the Roman Catholic Faith and how Romney would let children and families go hungry and homeless, that Obama supports a right to choose--to include choosing life...it's a simple game to play. Lots of material here: http://www.catholicdemocrats.org/cfo/index.php

Go to the five a.m. service and leave them on the table in the front of the church. Put "Paid for By Jesuits in Jesus' Name" at the bottom or something--really fuck with 'em. Why not?

My church (Presbyterian) would never allow that.

Is your church open all day?

I will not welcome you to DU.

I believe in the blue state Jesus.

Couldn't resist posting on this thread could you Mike? Guess you showed us! Now crawl back under your rock.

the other 3 Catholics in my family. All early voted, in the I4 section of Fl even. On my husband's side of the family they had the huge Catholic family 7 boys one girl (Btw all siblings are over 50 my husband is the youngest at 48), only one is voting rmoney. But thats ok they always joked he was the adopted one anyway so maybe it was true.

I read something recently that while the pro life movement is still deep in the Church, in the US more Catholics would rather not focus on the abortion issue. As they are like me, Pro choice but would like to think that if they had to make the choice they would pick life but would not impose their wishes on others. More and more in the Church people are wanting to focus on helping people, like helping the homeless, feeding the hungry, you know all the stuff Jesus actually talked about.

And I have no problem voting for pro choice people. You are not going to hell for being pro choice or for voting pro choice. People that actually believe that have more probelms in their life but mostly in their head and the fear driven crap on faux news and rush just make the problem worse for simple minds like that.

And being a Catholic I completely encourge you to turn that flyer in to the people that it should be as it as no place being any where near any religous organization.

I believe in the sepratation of Church and State. Churchs fail to head the laws take the tax exemption away!

hint: unlike the dittoheads, people here actually do know the facts, not the propaganda the reichwingnuts hand out.

that appears to be used ONLY in the rcc?

Partial birth abortions of healthy fetuses, whose delivery cannot threaten the health or life of mothers, are not legal under Roe v. Wade, which is the legal standard President Obama supports.

marriage for generations.

Also: You can go through ALL of the motions of marriage and if you don't actually commit to the other person in the manner defined by your vows, are you married?

Do the Catholic bishops rail against Catholics getting divorces and distribute handbills lying about them?

what they must DISCLOSE that they REFUSE to do.

The only thing the bishops are bitching about here is the fact that they don't want to have to tell their health care markets that they won't do certain things and thus limit their economic prospects to only those who agree with their VOLUNTARY limitation in the services that they provide.

way less than that. The federal government does not control 100% of what goes on in the nation's classrooms.

So, the bishops think people have a moral right to object to their federal tax dollars being spent on abortion, but they should keep their mouths shut and remain silent about how the bishops might spend their federal tax dollars for whatever "education" the bishops decide. People with a moral objection to to the lies of, e.g. Creationism, have no right to object to their tax dollars being spent on teaching that.

have a problem with that, they can choose to pay the fine, which might be less than the cost of providing the insurance anyway, and their employees can take their premiums to the national insurance exchanges and find the coverage that suits them - or - the bishops can get on board with the political effort to create public option health care coverage. No fault. No foul.

Why does the bishops' judgements take precedence over the primacy of individual conscience, not only in health care, the auto industry, and college loans, but in ALL things? WHERE IS THE DOGMA???

And most of the nuns I know
